Cepei has been working with LIRNEasia and other research centers in the Global South on public-private partnerships for several years, mapping 394 data actions in 94 countries through its SDG Acceleration Roadmap initiative. To further explore the issues addressed in this project and discover how the mechanisms inherent in public-private data partnerships work—what cooperation incentives are, how the impact is measured, and what kind of enabling environment is required, among others.
Eight cases showing progress on public-private data partnerships for the SDGs in the Global South
June 28, 2023
“Public-private data partnerships help build the capacities of the stakeholders involved in the SDGs, especially in countries or regions where SDG implementation needs to catch up. Sharing knowledge and experience between the public and private sectors can spark synergies and promote mutual learning, leading to more informed decision-making and more significant impact”.
Principales hallazgos
The eight cases highlighted here show encouraging developments on how private-public partnerships can contribute to the data revolution for sustainable development.
The data revolution meant a quantitative leap in data provision and new requirements: greater relevance, timeliness, and coverage, including granularity and cost reduction.
There is still a long way to go. Evidence gathered by Cepei on the region’s capabilities reveals that data ecosystems in Latin America have relatively little private-sector involvement.
